A single sunflower popped up in the plot of dirt where the bird feeders are. I didn't plant sunflower seeds so my deduction is that while the birds were eating the feed a sunflower seed fell into the dirt and took root. The flower looks a little tattered; it's probably food for the birds, too.
“look at its shape, with vibrant yellows and oranges, a sunflower can brighten your day...it's as if it is smiling like a happy face painted on the sun...so if you do only one thing all day, let it be to smile, so you can brighten the day of others around you, just like the sunflower” ~
Bloom where you are planted.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure you are right about how that sunflower ended up growing there. Sunflowers are designed to make us smile.
ReplyDeleteYou have given me an idea. I have a tub of sunflower seeds that I sprinkle into stews and onto roasted veg. I may try planting some and see what happens!
ReplyDeleteLoverly! I have thought of planting sunflowers too but so far the urge has been lesser than the reality.
